im sure it can be done, are u at all electronically savy, otherwise i dont think its gonna be worth it. There aloth of things u have to consider. practicality,will it get in the way of other buttons where u gonna keep the power supply. What were u thinking of viewing on there? It just seem like any awful lot or work.

Now i will wait for someone to post the ever stupid "anything can be done with enough money"

Hahaha.. Now that you said that, I don't think anyone will post it.
IT is stupid to spend money on something like this..

I just have a laptop screen that was salvaged from my friend's comp... Most of my friends think it could be done. We all agree that it aint worth it if there's gonna be large numbers involved.. Since I have all the wiring prepared already, it should be possible to install it with little or no money..
Just need some sort of idea..

hmm...what would you want the screen to do? well if you want it to function like a TV..using Inputs...i dunno if you can covert that screen to use video inputs. Otehrwise...if you can get the rest of that laptop...stash it somewhere..and extend the wires. hmm ditch the passenger air-bag and have it pop up..using actuators.
